In the small mining town that my wife grew up in all the houses were sided with asbestos. She said when they were young they would use broken chunks of the siding like chalk to draw on the sidewalk. I can just picture a typical scene from back then (1970's). Draw her name on the sidewalk in asbestos, jump into her dads truck, sans seatbelts, and drive around with the windows rolled up while her parents smoked like a couple of chimneys, with no guarantee that the guy behind the wheel was sober.

Hi Max Re coolant on carbide - my experience as an ex Seco Tools guy make sure you have a constant flow over the tool during the cutting process. Reason being is the cutting edge will heat up, in heavy cutting conditions get to red hot. Now one can imagine that red hot area getting a shot of coolant its going to crack the carbide by what is called "thermal cracking". A bit like taking the old glass milk bottle from the fridge and using the last of the milk and then rinsing out under hot water, one will find the bottom of the bottle in the sink. Difficult to see with the naked eye but it will be there. What follows next is the insert will fail with the end coming off. Carbide will cut OK without coolant so unless you want to keep your job cool try running without it. The heat will go out in the chips. Seco Tools do a very good technical guide on all cutting data and trouble shooting and failures of carbide inserts. I hope this information helps you and other followers to your excellent film clips. Being an ex fitter and turner I admire the way you expalin things and use down to earth language when things don't go right. Cheers Ian - New Zealand
@swanvalleymachineshop2 жыл бұрын
Hi Ian . I will nearly always run coolant as best as i can get it onto the insert without making a huge mess , just to keep the job cool . And to keep the chips from burning the fuk out of you ! Yes the thermal cracking can be an issue but i generally find running dry can be worse for insert life when you can not run the insert at their designed parameters . Thanks for your input , always valuable from an ex tool dealer . Cheers .

Hey Max, Great videos, I love the way you are pushing that lathe to the limit! I am thinking of getting the same size lathe as you have there and was wanting to know what size tooling are you using? I am in Perth (SOR) also and was wondering where you get your tooling from? When I search online I only seem to find the cheap and cheerful stuff.... Regards John (found you from watching Dave M in the states who recommended Matty's Workshop who recommended you...full circle YT)
@swanvalleymachineshop2 жыл бұрын
You should use 16mm tooling for that size lathe . I use 20 mm , but machine it down to 19mm to fit the tool blocks . I use that size so it will fit my other machines . Teravin tooling is where i get a lot of stuff from , not cheap though ! They sell a lot of very high quality Korean made stuff . Other high end brands i search on line & have collected over the years . There were a few modifications to the apron drive that i did to that lathe to be able to push it like i do with out doing any damage , they are in the lathe modification series from some time ago . Cheers .

Max, since this hub material is 4140 or similar, what is your flange material? Will it be "weld compatible" with the 4140? Also, I've noticed that you tend to aim your coolant onto your tool instead of onto the part where the cut will take place -- do you find that this provides extra cooling and makes your inserts last longer or something like that?
@swanvalleymachineshop2 жыл бұрын
The coolant is supposed to go onto the insert , not always possible though . I do find that generally the inserts last longer & can give a better finish with coolant . I will use low hydrogen 16TC rods & they will work fine , just a slight pre heat .
